Griffin Patty Mad Mission Lyrics

Mad Mission Lyrics

(Patty Griffin)
We were drinking like the Irish but we were drinking
scotch
bartender turns on a movie, everybody turned to watch
and every
single eye was gleaming when they reached the final scene
well at least mine
did, here's looking at you kid
You know it's a mad mission under difficult
conditions
not everybody makes it to the loving cup
It's a mad mission
but I got the ambition
mad, mad mission sign me up
I think I've seen the
look before, yes, it's kind of non-committal
it says come hither baby but
then he's hard wood to whittle
he says it don't mean a thing but still
somehow it does
he'd like you to join the club that likes to say
there's
no such thing as love
It's a mad mission under difficult conditions
not
everybody makes it to the loving cup
It's a mad mission but I got the
ambition
mad, mad mission sign me up
sometimes you find yourself flying
low at night
flying blind and looking for any sign of light
you're cold
and scared and all alone
you'd do anything just make it home
It's a mad
mission under difficult conditions
not everybody makes it to the loving
cup
It's a mad mission but I got the ambition
mad, mad mission sign me
up
sign me up
